Mother Suing Her Daughter For Not Getting Her Permission Before Doing This

A mother was stunned that her 17-year-old son had been surgically transformed into her 17-year-old daughter without her permission. The teen, who does not live with her mother, sought the health of various agencies and health services to have the procedure done. The mother is furious and believes the agencies have infringed upon her parental rights.

Anmarie Calgaro believes she should have been informed that her 17-year-old, known only as J.D.K., was having sex reassignment surgery. "Not only was I robbed of the opportunity to help my son make good decisions, but I also feel he was robbed of a key advocate in his life, his mother," said Calgaro outside of a courthouse on Wednesday.

J.D.K. does not currently live with her mother; the teen filed for legal emancipation last year, but legal rights have not yet been terminated. Calgaro considers her teen a run-away.

Minnesota law says that minors living on their own, managing their own personal income and affairs, do not need parental consent for medical services. The teen sought state Medical Assistance funds to pay for gender transition medications.

Calgaro is challenging the state law and hopes to restore rights to the parents.

J.D.K. will be 18 in July and says her mother made it clear she 'no longer wishes to have contact.’
